Better Compass V.2.0.2
Display coordinates and cardinal direction!

Display coordinates and cardinal direction by holding a compass.

From MC 1.20 to Latest Version (See the Download section for Snapshots or older versions)





Features

What does the data pack brings?


  • Holding a Compass in the off hand or main hand will display your current coordinates and cardinal facing direction in the action bar.
  • Adds a command that allows you to quickly share your current location with your friends on your server.

How to use


Simply holding a regular Compass in the off hand or main hand will show the current set of coordinates and the facing cardinal direction in the player's action bar. This is a light alternative to the F3 info that covers almost all of the screen.

Any player, no matter it is an operator or not, can use this command to share their coordinates and the current dimension it is in chat.
Note that this will show the coordinates to everyone, meaning you can't share private message with this command.

How to install & update?


Please refer to the Planet Minecraft tutorial to know how to install a data pack
: How to Install Minecraft Data Packs.


How to uninstall?


You can use this command before removing the datapack from your datapacks folder:

/function pk_better_compass:cmd/uninstall
The uninstall process will:
  • Remove all scores and storage relative to the Better Compass data pack.
  • Remove common scores and storage relative to all KawaMood data packs, if the uninstall process detects that you don't have any KawaMood data pack installed anymore.
When it's done, you can safely remove the data pack from your world's datapack folder.

Awesome data pack! Would love if there were a config option to enable coordinates when just having the compass in your inventory rather than holding :)

Perhaps functionality with the recovery compass is possible? Maybe it could additionally display the coords of the player's last death!

Can you make the information be displayed somewhere else than the Action Bar?

I have a Plugin that already uses it.
